and to be secured by means of a nut or the W like.

A further object is to provide a devio;

of this ype, in which a tie member shall extend etiveen the elements being spliced and engage oppositely located portions of l5 the elements surrounding the pole section.

A further object is to provide particular means for exerting tension on the tie mem-.

berv

With the foregoing and other` obiects in y' 2@ vievv, the invention consists in the novel conparting -from the spirit or'.

Where the splice is vto be struction and arrangement 'of elements described, illustrated and claimed, it ld'erstood that modifications may` be made within the scope of the claims, Without dethe invention. ln the drawings forming part of this ap i plicat-ion,

Figure l is a view in elevation, shovving the adjacentpoitions 'of two pole sections,

produced.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section, on line l 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a detail in section showing the means for producing tension on the tie member.

' The sections of the poles to be spliced are designatedl() and l2, and heavy Wire loops 13 and 14 are shown as extending along' In" Figure 2 the element elements 10 and l2.

plan, and the end l5 aplli is shown in top pears as a threaded element, being engagerI by a not 'i6 having an angular portion thereof adapted to be readily operated by means or" a suitable tool.

The opposite end of is provided Witlian eye 1T, end is deflected with reference tion 18 of the loop, 10, acting as a spike, the end being reduced the loop member 14 and the extreme to the poror tapered as shown.

of this invention' is to provide and passes into the pole i The loops having been placed in position and 'a reasonable degree of tension having been exerted thereof, by means of nut 16, further tension is applied thruv atie member 20 having a hook or the like 2l on one end, adapted to engage the main Wire loop, element 20 being threaded at the opposite end,

and :is shown at 22 for engagement by av nut 23.

A sleeve 25 is caused to surround the threaded portion, and has a bore Permitting the sleeve to slide-longitudinally of tie member 20. Element 25 carries a hook 26 adapt? ed to engage the portion 27 of tie member ,14, and it will be observed that any desired tension may be placed on the member 14, and likewise on the loop member 13, by setting up the nut 23 to the extent desired.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

l. A device of the class described, comprising a loop member, one end of said member being threaded and the opposite end being formed with an eye, the threaded end passing thru the eye, a' spike formed on the end carrying the eye member, andv a nut adapted to engage the threaded end adjacent to the eye portionn y 2. A device of the classs described, comprising a looped element having its ends connected and tensioned, and a tie member independently :formed and applied and adapted to extend transversely in approximately the plane of the complete loop element, the ends oi the. tiemembe'r being connected with opposite portions ,of tlieloop element and teiisidn'ed with reference thereto.

3. A device ot'- tlie class described, coinprising a loop member, .means for adjustably securing the ends thereof, a tie member sleeve in a direction towards lthe hook, said sleeve including loop engaging means.

device of the class described. coinirising a loop member, including means Yfor connecting the end portions thereof, and a tie member connected with 'opposite sides l extending between oppositely located poi` oi the oop member, and having its ends tensioned, for drawing these sides toward each other. 5. A device of the Class described, C0m- 5 prisng loop element, including means for connecting the end portions thereof and carrying a polo engaging elemenmand a o momboi' for connection with opposite sides of the loop element around which it is io be ensioned, for drawing the sides of tho loop W element toward each other fu approximately ho plane of' the complete structure.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
